sched/fair: Optimize test_idle_cores() for !SMT
update_idle_core() is only done for the case of sched_smt_present. but test_idle_cores() is done for all machines even those without SMT. This can contribute to up 8%+ hackbench performance loss on a machine like kunpeng 920 which has no SMT. This patch removes the redundant test_idle_cores() for !SMT machines. Hackbench is ran with -g {2..14}, for each g it is ran 10 times to get an average. $ numactl -N 0 hackbench -p -T -l 20000 -g $1 The below is the result of hackbench w/ and w/o this patch: g= 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 w/o: 1.8151 3.8499 5.5142 7.2491 9.0340 10.7345 12.0929 w/ : 1.8428 3.7436 5.4501 6.9522 8.2882 9.9535 11.3367 +4.1% +8.3% +7.3% +6.3% Signed-off-by: Barry Song <song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Vincent Guittot <vincent.guittot@linaro.org> Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210320221432.924-1-song.bao.hua@hisilicon.com
